There are a handful of patches for Delphi 2007 in my Registered Users downloads page. (This page is quite unwieldy if you have more than a few registered versions.) I no longer recall what is the proper combination to get the latest version of Delphi 2007 installed.
Is there an ISO available with all the patches, or what is the recommended way to get the latest fully patched Delphi 2007? The only ISO appears to be CodeGear RAD Studio 2007 ISO (Dec 2007) and I assume that isn't the latest fully patched version due to the Dec 2007 tag.
It seems the proper combination is:
R2 install from the web (http://cc.embarcadero.com/item/26910)
April 08 Hotfix (http://cc.embarcadero.com/item/25495)
June 08 Linker Hotfix (this is for C++ Builder only) (http://cc.embarcadero.com/item/25694)
May/June 08 Help Update 4 (http://cc.embarcadero.com/item/25688)
Debugger fix for Windows 7 (http://cc.embarcadero.com/item/27521)
AFAIK, the only things you need are:
R2, which is a cumulative update, and contains all of the updates prior to it.
Help Update 4
the Win7 debugger patch
Here's the relevant portion of the Help->About dialog from my copy of Delphi 2007:

I have just downloaded the hotfix from embarcadero website and I have read that it's mostly about Android issues. I am going to install it in my computer but my company has bought new computers and we need to install Delphi on them.
We are going to download the official Delphi Tokyo iso from the website and it's fine. But now the question: do we still have to download and apply the hotfix? Or they have already included the hotfix in the iso?
The Arcana Elite Suite for Intraweb hasn't been updated since March 2008. Does this mean it won't work with any bundled Intraweb later than Delphi 2007?
Anyone tried it with D2009 or D2010?
Arcana Elite Suite 2.6.7 works perfectly on Intraweb 10.0.23, but on D2007 (not sure about D2009+)
Latest change is r33 (21 Nov 2009). You need to get this version via SVN.
Comments for this version:
"Modified a bunch of files to compile using IW10 and D2009
Not fully tested
IMHO For obvious coherence, all string types must be replaced to ansistring
types"

I did try the Server Manager component but did not succeed to get this up and running. At that time had no interest in the other components.

The Windows Upgrade Advisor has told me there are 'known' issues with running Delphi 2010 on Windows 7, but I can't find them, does anyone know if there are, or if they've been fixed already?
D2010 works fine AFAIK. I've been using it on Windows 7 for a few months now without trouble.
There's a known issue for D2007 if you're running 64-bit Windows 7, and it's pretty serious. Fortunately, there's a patch for it. You can read about it and get the patch here.
I currently use both Delphi 2007 and Delphi 2010 on my Windows 7 Enterprise installation. I'm running the 32-bit version of Windows 7 on 64-bit hardware (corporate image).
I use Delphi 2007 every day on Windows 7 (and have since July) with no problems. I've also been using Delphi 2010 almost daily on Windows 7 since November, again with no issues.
During rebuild after a computer crash, I re-installed Delphi 7, then Delphi 2007. We skipped installation of Delphi 2006. However, now I would like to install Delphi 2006 before Embarcadero discontinues allowing for download of the latest version of D2006.
Is it possible to install Delphi 2006 on this computer without having an adverse impact on the other two installations?
My only concern is the potential problem of mixup in the SYSTEM PATH variable, where each version of Delphi uses the system PATH value to remember the location of the BPL files. Then the system PATH statement holds multiple BPL path locations created by each Delphi installation. However, each version Delphi only finds and uses the FIRST BPL path found in the list of paths - which always happens to be the most recent install. (Delphi installs insert - rather than append - the BPL path references at the beginning of the current system PATH value.) If this happens, then it is possible, for example, for Delphi 7 to reference the BPL files of Delphi 2007. Of course, that's not good at all. This is something that I know how to work around - if it is the only issue.
I'm hoping that the answer is not "uninstall Delphi 2007 first." That is painful for me as it takes significant time to re-install all the add-on components.
I have installed Delphi 5, Delphi 2006, Delphi 2007 and Delphi 2009 in various orders on several computers (laptop, work machine, home desktop, etc.) and have been fine.
I believe since 2007 is based on the 2006 version, that installing 2006 after 2007 is installed will most likely cause some problems. If you absolutely have to have a copy of 2006 for testing purposes, I strongly recommend setting up a virtual machine using VMWare or Virtual PC. This will allow you to test against 2006 directly...if you have 2006 and 2007 installed on the same machine, then your not testing 2006... your testing 2006 with 2007 installed.
I need to migrate to RAD Studio and have this installed on a new workstation. At the moment I still need to develop with Delphi 6 until we get all the necessary control updates and sort out the version control.
So my question is can I just install Delphi 6 on the same machine with no adverse impact for either product?
Thanks in advance.
There are no problem to install D6 and RAD 2009 at the same machine.
I think that it's better install first the previos version (first D6 and after D2009), but it's not absolutly necesary.
Regards and excuse for my bad english.
Installing them on the same system is no problem at all.
For migration, our clients have good experience with migrating to Delphi 2007 first, then do the Unicode migration to Delphi 2009 or Delphi 2010 second.
Doing both migration at the same time can work, but usually result in a migration that is too complex to do in one step.

I have delphi 3 to 2009 installed in my machine and I dont have any problem with any of the the Delphi IDEs. Only the BDS 2006's C++ IDE does not work anymore. There is a problem when C++ builder 2006 and 2007 installed in the same machine.
